DIY Decorated Cloth Napkins with Inkjet Heat Transfer – KNK Print and Cut

Posted on by

It’s fun to use DIY decorated cloth napkins for those special occasion dinners. In fact, why not use them everyday and save the cost and waste of paper napkins! For this project I used inexpensive cloth napkins which I found at Walmart. An inkjet transfer is used to add the design.

Two Upper Peninsula Napkins

 

Anyone from Northern Michigan understands the pride felt by those that are “born and bred” in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Since my husband and I were not born in the U.P., we are not considered “Yoopers” by the locals. However, we do enjoy the benefits of living in this beautiful part of the country, and the design I used embraces our “transplant” status.

  3. I haven’t tried the inkjet transfers either. But these look great! Do you know how well the ink holds up after washing a few times?

  4. Rhonda,

    This is the first time I have used this brand, so I am not sure yet. But the brand has good reviews on T-Shirt forums, so I am assuming it will hold up well.
